Cleanliness has been our family business for three generations

What began as a Cologne family firm built around carpets is now one of the leading specialists in carpet and upholstery cleaning for the hotel and river cruise industries – with the same standards as on day one.

Our story

From a Cologne carpet house to a Europe-wide textile care partner

The roots of Clean & Fresh lie in the Cologne carpet trade – a place where you learn early on just how valuable proper care is for fine textiles. That experience gave rise to our cleaning business more than 25 years ago, run by the Gabriel family and now in its third generation.

Today, renowned hotels and river cruise ships in Germany and the United Kingdom entrust us with their carpets, upholstery and textiles. And because good service is never a question of project size, we are just as happy to work for private households in and around Cologne.

Being owner-managed means personal responsibility instead of anonymous structures: you deal with us directly – and deep textile cleaning is our core business, not a sideline.

Our values

What Clean & Fresh stands for

A passion for textiles

Carpets and upholstery have been our family’s calling for three generations – we love what we do.

Honesty and reliability

We tell you frankly what is achievable, quote fair fixed prices and keep our appointments.

A well-practised team

Seven permanent professionals who understand each other implicitly – no anonymous crews, no subcontractors.

At home in two countries

With bases in Germany and the United Kingdom, we look after clients across Europe.

Social commitment

Cleanliness that does good: we support Mary’s Meals

As a family business, we believe success comes with responsibility. That is why Clean & Fresh supports Mary’s Meals, a charity that provides children in some of the world’s poorest regions with a daily meal at school.

A warm meal in the place of learning brings children into the classroom and gives them the strength to follow their lessons – a simple idea with a remarkable impact. With every job you entrust to us, you play a small part in it.
